How to choose a fave scene from Cosmopolis, that is the question. There are so many AMAZING moments, each & every one I love. Â When having to choose just one though, I went with the scene where Eric shoots Torval. When I read that part in the book I knew seeing Rob act it out would be epic & of course he did NOT disappoint, he completely blew me away (pun not intended) Until now, Eric has never really had a proper conversation with Torval, of course they have spoken but no smiles or general friendly banter like here. Eric is lulling Torval into a false sense of security, smiling & joking, even looking him in the eye for the first time then BANG. Torval never saw that coming. Rob NAILS this scene, the look in his eye when he shoots Torval – perfect. I cannot say enough amazing things about Rob’s performance & the film. I still remember the feeling after I had watched the film for the first time. Eric & his story had me mind, body & soul & I feel the same every time I have watched since. There are no words to describe how much I LOVE Rob as Eric, his portrayal of this character is truly beyond words. You all know exactly what I mean. Cannot wait to spend the week celebrating Rob as Eric & this fantastic film.
Thanks so much once again to Maria for making these amazing vids for us. LOVE them so much.

Michelle, I have no idea how you girls pick out your fave bits of any movie but Cosmopolis would be impossible. But I am very glad you all do though. I love RPAU Goldern Years.
I understand your ‘ mind body and soul ‘ comment. This movie gets better with every viewing.

It was SO hard Carmel, nearly impossible. I would have loved to have chosen the whole movie but sadly that would have been cheating. Oh & greedy *giggles*

No probs @Carmel – I doubt Lynda watched Cosmopolis – there’s no Edward in it.

@Maria – I’m quoting again – ‘the more visionary the idea, the more people it leaves behind’ (Kinski this time). God, I loved her and Eric’s conversations. Such wonderful ideas so beautifully written and performed.
This book. This movie. Eric. I love them all with such intensity. This is going to be an exciting week

I did watch Cosmopolis. Just because I loved the Twilight Saga, it doesn’t mean I don’t like anything else he is in. I have watched Water For Elephants and Remember me just as much as the Twilight Saga. I haven’t watched Cosmopolis as much as I would like but thats only because my children are usually around and the language is pretty bad in it, but Rob is excellent

Awesome choice, @Michelle. I love seeing this part of the movie with people who don’t know what’s coming. Agree, Rob totally nailed it.
(And for the record, I don’t think there would be any complaints if one of you was to choose the ENTIRE movie as your Golden Years Favourite Scene. Now who’s being greedy?!)
Posted on April 20, 2013
@Lynda I stand corrected.

*giggles* @Sue, so true! Being greedy when it comes to Rob really is essential after all.
